“The other two officers who [were] with him were standing there
and they're looking like, what are you doing,” added Dickerson,
“but I guess they didn't want to say anything.”

The Chicago PD’s Independent Police Review Authority is now
investigating the allegations, according to the station, and in a
statement the agency called the claims "very disturbing” and
added that such "abhorrent behavior” would not be tolerated.

Robinson’s claims, first reported on Monday evening by Fox 32,
follow news announced last month that Mayor Rahm Emanuel was
endorsing a deal that establishes a $5.5 million reparations
package to go toward individuals who suffered in the 1970s and
1980s under former Police Commander Jon Burge. An internal review
determined in 1993 that Burge had used torture, including
electric shock, mock executions and suffocation, during
interrogations carried out by the Chicago PD over nearly two
decades.
